To my surprise, as picture perfect as the day was, the images that followed really fell short of making the view justice. So I hit the road and embarked on a quest to find the best spot in the island to photograph the ship. After several hours of scooting through the most rural areas of Koh Samui, I found a dirt road that led up a mountain and eventually to the overlook that awarded me an unobstructed perspective of the ship against the shoreline.
